Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center(SPIEC)

We welcome our Sharp leadership and colleagues, local government leaders, neighbors and the San Diego community to our new Sharp Prebys Innovation and Education Center (SPIEC). Made possible by the generosity of The Conrad Prebys Foundation and the contributions of thousands of donors in support of the SPIEC will help us develop the next generation of health care leaders. 

Thoughtfully designed to put people and patients first by promoting research, training, workforce development, innovation, exploration, education and technology, the SPIEC is home to the following:
